During a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Fame inductee Bully Ray discussed the potential influence of GUNTHER on the trajectory of the WWE World Heavyweight Title.
Here are some key comments from the podcast:
Addressing the possible effects of GUNTHER on the title race, Bully Ray said, “Observe what GUNTHER accomplished with the Intercontinental Championship. There’s no doubt that in the relationship between the champion making the title or the title making the champion, it was GUNTHER who elevated the Intercontinental title to prominence.”
Speaking about Damian Priest’s reign as champion, he remarked, “Considering that Priest is the current WWE Champion, I believe Damian Priest is performing excellently in his role as champion, though it’s somewhat ambiguous and obscured because he is deeply entwined with the Judgment Day story. He doesn’t seem to have been showcased as a true solo champion. I believe they crowned him champion to align with their long-term plans for GUNTHER.”
GUNTHER is set to challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Title at WWE SummerSlam 2024.
